FILE - In this July 26, 1991 file photo, first lady Barbara Bush, center, laughs with Sen. Paul Simon, D-Ill, right, after receiving the pen President George Bush, left, used to sign the National Literacy Act of 1991 during a ceremony at the White House in Washington. Promoting literacy was a longtime cause for Barbara Bush, who died Tuesday, April 17, 2018, at age 92. She met many authors during her time in Washington and in the years following. Sandra Brown, Mary Higgins Clark and Harlan Coben were among those who became good friends, and shared memories of a former first lady whom Brown said “put her heart and soul” into getting people to read while also being “very funny, very candid with her comments.” (AP Photo/Marcy Nighswander, File)
